Introduction

aMember Pro version 4 is totally different from all previous versions. It uses different database schemas, API calls and other templates syntax. It means that all of the customizations that have been made previously will be lost and must be re-done for new version. Fortunately, the new version is much more flexible, so many customizations are simply not required.

CGI-Central is offering migration services, it usually costs $80 to do the upgrade + $80 to get access to upgrade (if you have no active subscription already). To order migration services, please contact us via helpdesk, and provide information about plugins in use, and about customizations in your aMember v3 install.

Recurring subscriptions are known to work correctly for PayPal subscriptions only. Import of recurring subscriptions from other payment systems requires attention from qualified aMember professionals. The problem is not import itself, the problem is how these imported subscriptions will be automatically handled by new payment plugins in v4.

Credit Card information is not imported from version 3 by current import script. For now, the decision has made to do not store credit card information in aMember v4. We will offer a path to convert and use Authorize.Net CIM or similar services for your clients and your safety.

Try to use v4

Install v4 into a temporary folder, try to configure everything you expects from it to do. Configure payment systems, make test products. Ensure that system is working on your host.

During import and the following database rebuild, keep aMember e-mailing disabled.
Go to aMember CP -> Setup -> E-Mail and set Email Sending method to disabled.
